Protocole is plugged to the « cryptosphere », where one can meet users and supporters of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, as well as entrepreneurs and researchers.
Giving them a voice makes it obvious that Bitcoin as a way of challenging monetary institutions is actually part of larger trend of the society as a whole. Cryptocurrency are not just a new “asset class”, but complex and far-reaching social phenomenon.
In this workshop, we’ll learn what elliptic curve cryptography is, how it works under the hood, and write our own toy implementation of the secp256k1 signature scheme used in Bitcoin, from scratch in Python.
Who is this for? The workshop requires basic familiarity with algebra and Python. No prior background in cryptography is required.
What should you bring?

Transaction costs (gas) on Ethereum are a major impediment to mainstream adoption of Dapps. Meta-transactions are a way to bypass the issue. They are already used today in successful DeFi apps such as Argent.xyz.
We will introduce the concept and then we will go through every step of their implementation, from the smart contract to the creation of off-chain messages. Finally, we will discuss how we’ve used meta-transactions with Rockside.io.
One hour to learn about how to make smooth and efficient decisions as a group.

While designing Holochain and on Holochain we often ask ourselves basic questions about information. What is it, how is it carried, how can it be accessed? Very often we end up noticing deep similarities to principles of physics, like relativity theory or quantum effects. Come and see how very plain principles of Holochain allow for unconstrained flow of information between agents. Let’s discuss how agent’s ownership over data can create a paradigm shift in our inter-human interaction.
PJ Klimek, Product Owner and Architect at Holo, will offer an introduction to the high-level architecture of Holochain, and will start a conversation about the relevant use cases for p2p applications
Blockstack is an open source project that allows users to create and control their own digital identity. The identity is blockchain based and follows the standards for decentralized identity (DID) by W3C. With these DIDs users can start to interact with other users, in particular create and validate user-related certificates, so-called Verifiable Credentials.
In this talk, Friedger will give a short introduction to Blockstack and explain how Verifiable Credentials can be used on a p2p basis.

Giving them a voice makes it obvious that Bitcoin as a way of challenging monetary institutions is actually part of larger trend of the society as a whole. Cryptocurrency are not just a new “asset class”, but complex and far-reaching social phenomenon. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director Rémi Crussière.
Keep your knowledge in your home. Share some parts with friends and family as you like, and maybe publish some of it for all to see.
Solidbox is an alternative to putting trust in service providers. Instead you run internet services yourself - without technical challenges but similar to a fridge or a wifi box: Cheap and dead simple to use!
Under the hood, Solidbox runs one of the oldest and most serious operating systems, Debian GNU/Linux, and among the included services are both conventional things like Jabber chat and a simple web hosting, as well as a set of Solid services for efficient and flexible data sharing both with humans and with other similar systems. Solidbox is a Free software project developed as an integral part of Debian.
One of the ways to describe Holochain is as distributed database with data validation. Let’s design our first hApp and code backend for unenclosed p2p communication. I will explain our toolchain, dev and production environment and help you with coding hApp.
What to bring: your laptop, good mood.
What to pre-install: go to https://developer.holochain.org/docs/install/ and perform Holochain dev tools installation. CAUTION: It takes 1-3h to build entire tooling from source.
What to know: Some knowledge of strongly typed languages will help. We are gonna be writing code in Rust-based Holochain SDK. Don’t worry we have great docs!

Using cryptoeconomics incentives, Kleros provides a dispute resolution system for decentralized applications. Payment disputes (was the good or service delivered?), content curation (does this post violate forum rules?) and blockchain oracle (what was the temperature in Paris the 1st January 2020?), there are many applications requiring a mechanism to solve their disputes.
The workshop will start with a presentation of the Kleros system. Wallets will then be distributed to participants who will be able to test applications using Kleros to solve their disputes. This workshop does not require previous technical knowledge

Aeternity has developed a functional programing language for smart contracts called Sophia, a “dialect” of Reason ML. To help developers get into It, we have created a remunerated online course($75 in AE). Participants to the worshop will receive a link to get access to It. At the end of the course there is a “Challenge”: students have to sucessfully modify a voting Daepp.

When faced with complex challenges, the problem isn’t that we aren’t coming up with good answers. We tend to be great at coming up with answers. The problem is that often, we find ourselves answering the wrong questions. This Warm Data Lab should help us pose better questions and will make other sessions richer as a result. This Warm Data lab will be a living kaleidoscope of conversation in which participants will explore the Future of Risk in a Changing World through several contextual lenses such as family, culture, technology, ecology, economy and education.

Are you interested in the development of blockchain or P2P services on decentralized infrastructures? Come and discover tools that facilitate the bootstrap and deployment of your projects.
We will present our Archipel project, to illustrate the use of these helping technologies: DAppNode and Parity Substrate framework.
8 years ago cjdns was started to make the internet encrypted and decentralized, unlike TOR and I2P, it was not intended as an overlay but rather to a complete revisit of the way the internet should work, peer-to-peer and always encrypted. Since then it has had moderate community interest but has not lead to any actual infrastructure buildout.
My current project is a sort of phase-two of cjdns, building a blockchain called PKT in order to create a bandwidth market so that anyone capable of running fiber and pointing antennas can participate in building the infrastructure of the new internet. All of these fibers and wireless links will become a “pool of bandwidth” which a professional network operator can reach into and pull out the bandwidth necessary to build their own network.
This talk aims to limit technical details to the minimum that is necessary so please do not feel intimidated to attend. There will be time reserved for questions so that in case there is not enough technical detail, topics can be addressed more fully.
During the workshop, you will install cjdns, pktd and pktwallet, you will setup cjdns as a VPN using the free VPN exit provided by IPRedator and you will mine some PKT to your wallet and transfer it.
Come with a Linux or Apple computer and a basic to intermediate skill level with using the terminal. If you are not comfortable using the command line on your computer, I recommend studying The CLI Crash Course which should get you a basic working knowledge within a few days to a week.

Get yourself up to speed with Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKP). ZKPs are cryptographic methods that enable to prove the validity of an attribute without revealing the underlying data. They can be used in a wide range of applications, such as voting, self-sovereign identity, authentication, etc.
We use the vote use case in order to introduce ZKPs and present the components required to build your own applications..
If you want to get familiar with ZK identity matter beforehand, you can read this: Building trust while keeping data undisclosed.
This hands-on workshop will help you to get a grip on ZKP technology. We will build together an anonymous voting system using Semaphore.
No prior knowledge of cryptography nor decentralized network is needed.
Please come with your laptop, preferably with Docker, node, a browser with a recent version and an Ethereum wallet such as MetaMask.
If you want to be 100% ready, you may want to read first this introduction to ZKPs and this one to Semaphore.
